About the Porsche 911 993 GT2 #90 Vert / Franco / K. Koen Daytona 24 Hours 1998 UT Models 1:18

TL;DR: This UT Models 1:18 diecast Porsche 911 993 GT2 reproduces the #90 Daytona 24 Hours 1998 entry driven by Vert, Franco and Koen. The model is used, and its box shows traces of storage; doors and bonnet open. Zinc alloy construction carries the widened GT2 bodywork with real shelf weight.

The 993-generation GT2 marked the last air-cooled 911 built specifically for top-tier GT racing, and a Daytona-liveried example ties that mechanical significance to a genuine endurance racing result.

Construction of the UT Models 993 GT2

The doors and bonnet on this casting open, showing a stripped racing cabin and the rear-mounted engine bay that defined the GT2's layout. Zinc alloy gives the model genuine weight, and the widened arches and larger rear wing that distinguish the racing GT2 from a standard 993 are captured with clean, confident cast lines. The printed race livery keeps the sponsor and number detail sharp at this scale, an important quality for a car whose graphics carried real meaning at the actual event. As a used model this piece has been displayed before, and its box shows the traces of storage that come with that history without affecting the casting itself.

The 993 GT2 in IMSA and Daytona Racing

Porsche built the 993 GT2 to satisfy GT racing homologation rules, and privateer teams campaigned it across North American endurance events including the Daytona 24 Hours, where GT2-class entries fought for class honours within a field led by faster prototypes. The car's rear-engine, turbocharged layout gave it a distinct handling character compared with mid-engine rivals of the period, and it remains closely associated with the final years of air-cooled 911 competition before Porsche moved to water-cooled engines. A Daytona-liveried example places this specific car within that closing chapter.

Positioning a GT2 on a Racing Shelf

At 1:18 the widened GT2 bodywork gives the car real presence next to standard road-going 911s, and it sits naturally alongside other IMSA or Daytona-era liveries. Displayed with the doors open, it shows off the stripped competition cabin that separates it from a street car. Given the used condition, a check of the opening panels and livery on arrival is sensible, but this remains a genuinely worthwhile piece for a Porsche racing collection.
